Emma (5/10) Movie CLIP - Duet with Mr. Churchill (1996) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Emma (Gwyneth Paltrow) and Frank Churchill (Ewan McGregor) sing a duet of Arthur Somervell's "Silent Worship" at the Coles' Party.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Based on the novel by Jane Austen (who in the '90s seemed to be in the running alongside William Shakespeare and Stephen King for the honors of most adapted author in Hollywood), this period romantic comedy stars Gwyneth Paltrow as Emma Woodhouse, a young woman who imagines herself an authority on matters of the heart. With the best of intentions, Emma plays matchmaker for her friends, most notably her friend Harriet (Toni Collette), who Emma links up with the Reverend Elton (Alan Cumming), and her governess, (Greta Scacchi), who she introduces to her future husband, Mr. Weston (James Cosmo). However, Emma is not nearly as good at playing Cupid as she likes to imagine, and she spends so much time trying to solve everyone else's romantic problems that it takes her quite some time to realize that she's fallen in love with Mr. Knightly (Jeremy Northam). A television miniseries based on Austen's book appeared a year later, while a year prior to Emma, the story appeared in modernized form in the popular teen comedy Clueless.

Silent Worship - Lyrics

Did you not hear my lady
Go down the garden singing?
Blackbird and thrush were silent
To hear the alleys ringing
O saw you not my lady
Out in the garden there?
Shaming the rose and lily
For she is twice as fair

Though I am nothing to her
Though she must rarely look at me
And though I could never woo her
I love her till I die

Surely you heard my lady
Go down the garden singing?
Silencing all the songbirds
And setting the alleys ringing
But surely you see my lady
Out in the garden there
Rivalling the glittering sunshine
With a glory of golden hair

My favourite version of “Emma”. Mr Knightly, sigh!💖❤️

I wonder if he's got the role in Moulin Rouge because of this movie. Here we see how he can sing wonderfully!

Pepper Potts and Obi-Wan Kenobi’s hit single

I haven’t checked all the comments so my comment may be a repeat, but this is adaptation of an aria from Haendel’s opera ‘Tolomeo’ is by Arthur Somerville and is entitled ‘Silent Worship’, but was published in 1928; over an hundred years after the fictitious event is set!

[StephShrubb]

If only a man could be besotted with me enough to think my amateur performances were world class. #MrKnightley #MrDarcy !!!

In answer to earlier questions this charming piece is  called "Did You Not Hear My Lady"? and was written by Georg Friedrich Handel.

[MrSebboxxx]

... a time without television, telefon, handys, dvds, electronic music, internet, airplanes, cars and such beautiful films :-)

[emmadorland]

I love how uncomfortable Knightly looks here! xD

[Thatholygal]

Knightly looking so annoyed when he gets up singing
Lol

Love this scene! the beginning when Mr. Cole asks Emma to play and she whisply replies "Oh but I lack the talent...!" forgetting I think for a moment that she now has someone to compete with (as Mr. Knightley said earlier "maybe you dislike her because she diverts our attentions from you?"), and was quickly reminded when he's all like "Perhaps I'll ask Miss Fairfax?".

She agrees to play, partly because she doesnt want to be shown up in front of her friends in "her house" so to speak, but mostly because at this point in the story, she views Jane as competition for Mr. Knightley; even though she hasnt acknowledged or admitted her feelings for him to herself as of yet.

Knightley OTOH finds himself jealous, though I am not sure if he is aware WHY he is jealous at this point. It was clear he was worried about Frank from the beginning because when Emma is talking about meeting Jane at the Bates', she mentions that "she wouldnt tell me anything about Frank Churchill!" to which Knightley replies "why would you care about Frank Churchill" and even that early on, his Jealousy was evident.

What I think happened is if you pay attention, you will see that in the beginning of the movie, Knightley and Mrs. Weston are shown talking, Knightley also mentions that the Westons correspond regularly, so maybe they told him something about their wishes that Frank and Emma be attached? There is no way to know for sure since it is not touched upon in the movie, but if pressed I would say that's what happened.
